Jean-Louis Dessalles

Jean-Louis Dessalles is a senior lecturer at Telecom Paris. He uses artificial intelligence to model and simulate the relevance that characterizes spontaneous human communication. For a decade, he has been developing a new theoretical framework called Simplicity Theory, which serves as a basis for modeling narrative interest and argumentative relevance. He is also using simulation to study evolutionary processes and the fundamental question of the origin of human language, considered as a social game. He authored several books, including Why We Talk, Information, the hidden side of life, Des intelligences TRÈS artificielles. Find out more
